Demeures d'Orient Riad & Spa

Wonderful few days. We have just returned after a 4 day stay at this beautiful Riad. Such an oasis of calm after the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff couldn’t have done more to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Everyone so polite and friendly. The Riad is in a convenient location, tucked away just minutes from the souk. A 10 minute walk takes you to the Secret Garden and a further 10 minutes to Jemaa Square. This was our 3rd visit to Marrakesh and if we decide to return in the future we would definitely stay at this Riad again. Thoroughly recommend…it couldn’t have been more magical.

My wife and I stayed at the Demeures d’Orient Riad and Spa during our city break to Marrakech in March 2025. We were delighted to find such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay amid the bustle and noise of the city. This wonderful riad, run by three generations of the same family provides just 11 beautifully furnished and traditionally styled rooms on two levels around the central courtyard. The courtyard contains the heated swimming pool, and is also the location for breakfast and other meals to be served. A peaceful and pretty roof terrace is a fine place to relax with views across the city and towards the Atlas Mountains. The owners and staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming, and will help with any requests or enquiries about the city or excursions. Unfortunately I was unwell for a day or so during our stay (definitely not the fault of the riad, but caused by flying with an ear problem which affected my balance!), and the owners and staff were very concerned about my wellbeing. I was surprised to learn that they had been asking my wife regularly how I was, and when I felt better I was asked how I was feeling by everyone. Being a small establishment makes service much more personal, but I was genuinely touched by the concern for my health. It really did show that guests are valued and looked after by everyone at the riad. My wife made use of the spa facilities whilst we were there, and had a fabulous relaxing experience, which she recommends very highly! We dined at the riad, and the food was excellent. My personal favourite was breakfast, but that’s just because I love starting the day with coffee and a beautifully presented breakfast made with fresh ingredients. We can also recommend dinner, which was served in the candlelit courtyard, made from lovely fresh ingredients and offering a choice of tasty Moroccan flavours. We really enjoyed our stay at Demeures d’Orient, and intend to stay there again. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of staying at Demeures d’Orient Riad Deluxe & Spa, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The riad itself is a masterpiece — the decoration is absolutely superb, a reflection of the refined taste and vision of the owner, Sophie. Every corner is thoughtfully curated, blending traditional Moroccan elegance with a unique, personal touch. What made the stay even more memorable was the impeccable service led by Sophie’s daughter, Zoé, who manages the hotel with warmth, professionalism, and attention to every detail. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely cared for. Zoé went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction throughout the stay. This riad is not just a place to stay — it’s an experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for authenticity, beauty, and five-star hospitality in the heart of Marrakech. A true gem!

Fantastic luxury Riad in the heart of Marrakech Amazing place to stay. Beautiful Riad which provides a tranquil oasis in the centre of Marrakech. We had a Royal Suite which was huge and opulently furnished. Staff could not be more helpful and friendly. If you are looking for a luxury stay then this is the place.

We booked this last minute through easyJet. Which is something we’ve never done before, so weren’t sure of the quality or calibre of what our experience would be. We wanted some sun and a quiet relaxed place to stay. This lovely historic Riad delivered. Run by 3 generations of a family of French women, it is stylish and beautifully decorated without being gauche. With echoes to the 1920’s architecturally but with 2020’s facilities it is like being emerged in the decadence of a film set. From the crispy white bed linens to the bathrobes and shower gels - this Riad has you covered for comfort and luxury. There are 2 floors of rooms (with air con) all having large bedroom areas,living space and private bathrooms. The breakfast is varied and huge (kept us going most days till dinner in the evening) however you can eat lunch at the Riad too. The swimming pool is large, (for a Road pool) clean and inviting as well as the roof terrace where you can sit, sunbathe or relax in the shade on the sofas. The spa has the most amazing woman working there, whose smile brightens you let alone the incredible treatments she can offer. We had hanmam’s and massages and left feeling like a new person every time. We received incredible service from all the staff, even to ordering us taxi’s and recommending and booking restaurants for us. This was one of the most relaxing breaks we’ve ever experienced, as the hotel offered you great service without fuss and made you feel welcome but not hovered over. Thank you Demeures D’Orient you were amazing and we will be back. X

It’s a gorgeous property in the inside. It’s an oasis from the chaotic bustling old town. Walking distance to souks for convenient shopping. The hotel staff is very helpful and especially enjoyed the assistance of Zoe the property manager. The roof top terrace is the entire size of the property. It is easy to find your own private corner. Would definitely recommend and return.
